In giving you sketch of Tim must tell you that he is a real character and, if I hav'nt given you his parental name, the one have selected for you to know him by is very near to it, and, as it has no par ticular significance, will do just as well.
 Tim and were good friends from that August day we fhsi met in Chicago, sev. eral years ago; and so, whatever else you may say of my sketch, say this-that it is drawn by friendly hand. | -.
 I had just reached the city, Q stranger from the east, and knew not, and was not known by single soul. Indeed the ris- ing fame of the young city had hardly reached me in the hills of Massachusetts, ; so that, too, was altogether a new world to me. It was early morning when I entered the city. I lunched, and then looked around for some one to take me and my baggage to the seminary, where was to spend the few following months.
 It will not do to weave that mornings experience into this sketch. I pass over it, and say that in the early forenoon was dropped at the front entrance of the hall where was to be instructed in sacred things.
 It was yet few days before the open ing of the term, and the hall was quite de-
  few other students had their headquarters in the hall. One of these, remember well, was packing his few effects, and pre- pairing to go on foreign mission. More life centered around about him than any where else in the old hall but he soon departed, and the desolation that could be felt was more obtrusive than ever.
 Tim saw me and found me out. His disposition was very friendly. He had al- ready spent one year in the seminary, and understood quite well the life upon which was about to enter. He took me into his confidence, and kindly imparted to me such information as he thought would be advantageous. He volunteered to show me about, and thus acquaint me with the vicinity of the hall. accepted these kind proffers with an appreciative spirit. Even after the term opened and new associa- tions were formed these kindnesses from Tim continued. The fact that he was in g class above me, and was graduate, which was not, did not shut him out from me and have no doubt he would have con. tinued his intimacy to the last had noI withdrawn from his society.
 One evening, as we were walking along one of the avenues in the vicinity, an in ,i dent occurred which gave me something of a shock Tim recognized young wo man who happened to be standing in the doorway.

The Windham County Transcript sets afoat the story that in the old tavern at Ashford, the terminus of the stage route between that, place and Willimantic, is g room occupied by General Washington while on his way to Boston, and that he wrote his name in full upon the window pane with his diamond ring, and the auto graph still remains intact. The Hartford Times comments thus: In the first place, it is doubtful that Washington ever wore 3 diamond ring, and certainly he was not the kind of man to travel around the country scratching his name on window panes with it. That practice originated with dudes in later generation.
